and, of course, till 'the French evacuate the l'ortu- guese territories. In consequence of the Dispatches brought by the Austrian Courier, NEUMAXENs Prince STAllani• BERG announced his intention of immediately quit ting this Country. We believe he Will leave town in the course of this day. The departure of M. DE STAIIREMBERG will be • followed by that of M. ALorzus and of M. DE h.- Coat. • The Messenger HEREGLE; who brought the last Dispatches to M. DR STAIIREMPURG, left London on his return to Paris about one o'clock yesterday morning. WA have this day continued our Elttrads from the French Papers, and among them will be found'a most Important one from the Moniteur. We read this article with a considerable degree both of sur prise and pleasure ; of pleasure, to find, that the energetic measures adopted by our Government had already produced a very, considerable effed in France—and of surprise, to find the French Papers so ready to acknowledge the fad. We dO not mean to state that there is a confession in terms, in the French Papers, that the effed 'of our Orders in Coubcil has been, severely felt. is Franee; but there is in substance a most ample acknowledgment of the fad. If our Readers had not themselves an opportunity of perusing the curious article to which 'We are alluding, they would scarcely believe us if we Were to state that this official French Journal te ributly asserts that all the indignation which Boo _ itirstrra has expressed againit our Government, in 'e.onsequenae 9f the Orders in Council respecting Neutrals, proceeded solely from a consideration of the injury which they must necessarily- do to the Commerce and ManufaCtures of Great Bri hitt. We are told that our regulations respecting the trade of Neutrals cannot possibly affed France, ifir if wecould prevent her receiving any Colonial Produce, it would be of little consequence, becauSe. there it in France sufficient sugar and coffee for 3 years It is rather unfortunate for the Editor in theWeatitenr, that he does not possess quite so much information upon this subject as a Writer in tai Opposition Paper of this daY l , who lays, that it will , be scarcely any inconvenieiiCe to France to preventeid froTh obtaining coffee and Sugar fr9tn, ititolonies, because she can be supplied wish cof. tee from the Levant ; and as to sugar there is very tittle consumed In France ! !-!....-These consolatory keitaions, however; did not occur to the writer in We' Atoniteur ; but he does not entirely rest upon the etocit or sugar and coffee which Is at present in irarce, for he expresses very sanguine hopes that tiotWithitanding our Orders in Ccinlicil the Ameri. L'atts will still be able to import into France those articles 'Of which she has already to abundant a supply. It, however ; naturally suggested itself to the author of this ankle, that American Vestels knight by possibility find some difficulty in getting into a French Port without complying with the re gulations of our Orders in Connell; And a great deal Of very good advice is given to the American Go= vernment upon this part of the subjed. At' last ; very notable expedient is hit upon, and gravely 're conaMended to the Americans to adopt, and that is, td arm their Merchantmen in such a way as that they may be able to beat our Ships of War; end then they may carry on their trade with out interruption ! In addition to all this the people of France arc told that If industry were to take another dirediott—if we were to attach our : selves to the manufactures of articles for which the continent produces the raw materials, we ?night thank England for having opened our eyes to our true interests, &c. &c. ;" and with this consolation they must of trinrse be satisfied. But it is for the situation of the people of Great Britain, that BITONAPARTU feels most deeply : instead of wishing to injure our trade and destroy ou r , Commercial Monopoly, he is only apprehensive that they may be injured by the injudicious mea sures of our Ministers, and therefore, in pure bene volence to us, be recommends the rescinding of all thellegulations recentlyadoptcd respeding the trade of Neutrals! ' Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo reign Office, which was attended by the Duke of PORTLAND, and all the Ministers. Colonel C/CSAR-BALBIANE, and Count CASADA, the Spanish bestirs iron) Buenos Ayres, are arrived at Portsmouth. the former is a single man.

' ... bu the 23d, the Samdel was driVen ashore can Tann Wand, near Arundahl, on the Coast of Nor Way, and totally Wrecked. The crew hoisted out the small boat, but it was instantly dashed to pieces by 'W., violence of the wave& They then boibted out the long boat, and under circumstances of unparalleled danger, .succeeded in reaching the shore in safety, The Danes behaved tolerably kindly to . the crew, allowing them a : shilling a day each, and two shil lings a day additional to such as were willing to assist , in preserving the cargo of the Samuel, the principal part of which they saved. The ,Captain and crew were then taken to Arundidil, and a guard placed over them., - .

'At this period the Danes in the other boat began to fire on them, but the captured boat being the better sailer got out of their reach ; in consequence of which the Dana bore away for Dram. The crew of the other' boat - then made sail for Stromstadt, in Sweden, where they arrived on the ifith, aftet' encountering severe weather, and having the boat twice filled with. water.

SIOII : STOWE.—The Count De LILLE, to adopt the title chosen by the illustrious stranger himself, and whom we should be happy to mention by one more suit able to his legitimate pretenSions, on Thursday last, accomp.mied by the French Princes, visited the new gothic room at Stowe, in order to inspea the Mar , (Os of . BUCKINGHAM'S rare collection of Mann scripts. All the persons who had been employed the day before in the ceremony of planting the Oaks, - attended by a band of music,, testified their respea for the IllustriouS Visitors, and proper refreshments were ordered for them. The Count Ds LILLE ma, nifested great pleasure at these heart-felt tributes of esteem from Englishmen, and graciously returned all their attentions. The IlluitriousVisitors . dined With the Marquis, whose-first toast was " The Illustrious House of BOURBON." The CoUnt Dc ti sen- . sibly atfeEted by the courtesy of his Noble Host, gave " The Lamp of Hospitality,. Which burns always in Britain, bdt , especially in this House. ' ' But the. dear connections of the distinguished visi tors were not forgotten, and the third toast w;0 " The Ladies at Mittau." The whole passed off with that dignified good humour and cheerful cim• posnre which throw a grace upon misfortune, and which constitute a higher enjoyment than can ever be derived from the guilty triumphs of ambition. Letters from the Aigle, of 44 guns, Captain WoLvs, brought by a chasse marite, her prize,' laden with wheat, captured close in with the French coast, dated the ath instant, state, that she was all well at that period, after experiencing 'the fury of ;the Lite tremendous storms near Isle Oros, off which she ear . - ried away her fbre-topsail-yard, and split her 'sails to pieces, but fortunately weathered the shoal off that Island, and got into, safe anchorage. The French people of the Island came .off With fresh stock, Wlien the weather Moderatec4 which they sold very cheap, viz, a fine large calf for 30s. only, and Other things in proportion, so great is the scarcity of money in that part of 'France. This morning was exeduted, in the Old Bailey, John Almond, for the dritne of forging . the will of . a working man;'his acquaintance appothting.hireself sole executor, and receiving at the Bank of England, under that will, 3001, stOck, the hard earned sayings of his friend. The unhappy culprit has let be hind him a wife far advanced in pregnancy, Who has been inlabour, in the wOrk-house of St. Janies!s, ever since she heard of the order for herhushand't execution. In his last' interview with' the Sikerit6 he acknowledged the: justness of his senterrce; and expressed a fervent hope that his example might operate as a warning to others not to commit an of- Ker. fence for which the law, in this commercial coun try, necessarily allows no mitigation of punishment. Yesterday twenty-two Prisoners. were tried at the Old Bailey, sixteen of whom were convicted of Felony, viz.—Thomas Wells, Thomas Wheeler, Ann Orarn, Lydia Martin, John Maynard, Joseph Benjamin, Barnet Benjamin, John Metcalfe;: Mary • Shearling, alias Mitchelli Richard Wells, Charlotte Brown, Elizabeth Hincks, John Houndle, Mary Gay, John Hyde, and Mary Ann Walton.

Robert, the first Earl of-Itfixburgh; by e d ecd . I entail in 1645, settled his estate tilid honours u p on his *grandson,,, Sir, NVillrain Drummond; and the I heirs male of his body, on condition Aim he should 1. marry Lady line, - the el(Lst ,datilit t tr Of his sufi, 1 Heray, Lord Ker, who had pre,ic:ceased him. Sir IWilliam, upon the death of his grandfather, became! second. Earl ofßoxburgh,,,and kit tco sons ; thei eldest carried an ;the line of the Roxburgh family, . and it becania extiod on the death' of Duke Juhn 1 in 1804, and the second son acquired the honouri - . lof the Bellenden family. Upon the death .of Duke John in 1804, he wns succeeded in the honours and estates of by. NVilliam, Lord ffellenden, the only rektiaitong" male cleiceudant • of the second Ead by tally Jape Duke William Succeeded to the estate at very advanced period of life, and it was unknown to him, .whether there was any person who could claim the succession under the entail. In this situation he executed a new deed of entail of the whole of his estate upon the heirs in line' of the marriage be twixt Sir William Drummond, the second Earl, and Lady Jane liar. The Gentleman called -in by him to the succession in the first instance, was Mr. Bellenden tier, the great grandson of that .marringe,. and son of the Hon. Mrs. Gawler, his cousin-ger \ man. After having made this disposition of his estate, two claimants appeared as heirs under the entail.— These were Sir James Innes, a descendant of Lady .Margarer, the third daughter of Henry Lard Icer; and General Ker, of Littledean, claiming as heir male of Robert, the first Earl and maker of the tailzic, whose ancestor came of the family in the 15th century. The Duke did not know upon wll3t authority the'pretenslons of .these Geutlernen were founded ; • but, in order to secure a provision. as Er as in his power, to his relations, he exercised ye. unlimited power conferred on him by the old en- - tail, of granting fens upon the. estate in favour of Mr. BellendenKer, and making provisions for Ilia' other relations. Upon his, death in 1805, a challenge was brought of the new entail by .the above Gentlemen, upon the issue of which it was found, by a con siderable majority cc the Court, that Duke Williarn had not sntficient powers - to alter the order of succession establiihed by the old tailzie ,but re served all objedions to the pursuers titles as heir under that deed. The validity of the fens granted to Mr. 8,,, Ker . came next to be discussed, and this iniportant point was- determined also on the t Ith curt. m'ben'saed Judges were for .sustaining the ten right, under particular exceptions as to the parts Odle estate, and seven for• reducing them, and• - which :last opi- . nion prevailed by the casting'vote of the Lord Pre sident, who had declared it to be a very donbtful. case, and that he should be satisfied whichever war it was decided. ' • . . -The whole questions that have oectirred in .this most. important case are now appealed to.:the 4(414 of Lords. CLERKENVELL SESSIONS:- -Yesterday articles of the peaCe were eY.liihited against Geqrge Welch, a -young attorney, by •t he .fs-- titer of Miss Blake, a young Lady, 17 years old.' The exhibitant, who' keeps the Britannia, .in Britannia row, Islington, made atlidatit to the lii is following: Miss Blake had frequently • been accosted by Air. Wplcif while going to school, and had altitude(' to his Eklresses, but, being aware that her condu& was imprudent, sheinfoimed her:brother, who coinma nieated the information to her father, and•l'Mr. Welch was preVented from afterwards 'seeing her: In revenge for the disappointment, Welch expressed his intention, in the presence of a Mr. Sims, of car- tying Miss Blake off from her parents ; and the cx hibitanthad no doubt; from the vidlent temper and dispoSition of, Welch, that he would attempt to put his throat in execution; This affidavit was corroborated by that of Mr. Sims. The father of `elch, and a very respeElable 'housekeeper in Lincoln's Inn, attended. to offer sureties for the young man, and after he had been brought into Court from the New Prison, be w.ts admitted to bail, himself in cool. -and two sureties in 1001.. each, to keep the peace for twelve months. The Captain of a Russian Ship preiecuted one of his seamen for an assault. From the evidence of the Prosecutor, it appeared,: that the Defendant had been jbined• , with .several 01 the most troublesome part of the crew in a kind of ninthly, on the voy age here from Memel; .and dig', on the Ship's ar rival in the River, he struck the. Prosecutor a bloVr on the brpast, that nearly knocked Frn 'Overboard, without atiy peOyocation whatsoever. This was cor roborated by another. Witness. The' Prisoner in i‘is defence acknowledged he hattcommitted the assault, but expTeSsed his - contrition.for it; and promised he would behave himself better for the future. An interpreter attended, employed on the part of the Russian ,Consul,' who himielt also appeared in Court, and said, ,the prcAecu,ciop . WAS carried ,on, at his instance, considering it his duty as the natim34 proteetor of the Russian Captains in this Country, though now his hinetions had Ceased,* The Prisoner was'found guilty, but in considera tion of his contrition, and in the hope that he would hereafter obey his master, he was discharged on his own recognizance, to be brought up for judgment only in case of his. future ill behaviour. The Journeymen Shoemakers found guilty of the conspiracy against their employer. Mr. Limebier, were severally ordered to be imprisoned in the House of Correction two of them for one year, six for nine months, and the 'remainder for lesber periods. The busineifs of the Session' being finished, the Court adjourned. Yesterday,.- at. Marlborough-street, a milliner's sbopwornan was charged by her employer with 4k:d ing a qtrantq of velvet.
